Correct answer: D

  1. Interpret the regions

We need the area of the part inside the circle x2+y2=2x^2+y^2=2x2+y2=2 but not common to the region bounded by y2=xandy=x.y^2=x \quad \text{and} \quad y=x.y2=xandy=x.

So required area = Area of circle−Area common to circle and the bounded region.\text{Area of circle} - \text{Area common to circle and the bounded region.}Area of circle−Area common to circle and the bounded region.

Since the bounded region between y2=xy^2=xy2=x and y=xy=xy=x lies entirely inside the circle in the first quadrant, the common area is exactly that bounded area.


  1. Find the region bounded by y2=xy^2=xy2=x and y=xy=xy=x

Write the line as: x=y.x=y.x=y. The parabola is: x=y2.x=y^2.x=y2.

Their points of intersection satisfy y=y2y=y^2y=y2 so y(y−1)=0  ⟹  y=0,1.y(y-1)=0 \implies y=0,1.y(y−1)=0⟹y=0,1. Thus intersections are: (0,0), (1,1).(0,0),\,(1,1).(0,0),(1,1).

For 0≤y≤10\le y\le 10≤y≤1, xright=y,xleft=y2.x_{\text{right}}=y,\qquad x_{\text{left}}=y^2.xright​=y,xleft​=y2. Hence the enclosed area is ∫01(y−y2) dy.\int_0^1 (y-y^2)\,dy.∫01​(y−y2)dy.


  1. Check that this region lies inside the circle

On the line segment from (0,0)(0,0)(0,0) to (1,1)(1,1)(1,1), x2+y2=2y2≤2.x^2+y^2=2y^2\le 2.x2+y2=2y2≤2. On the parabola from (0,0)(0,0)(0,0) to (1,1)(1,1)(1,1), x=y2  ⟹  x2+y2=y4+y2≤1+1=2.x=y^2 \implies x^2+y^2=y^4+y^2 \le 1+1=2.x=y2⟹x2+y2=y4+y2≤1+1=2. So the whole bounded region lies inside the circle.

Therefore, required area=area of circle−area between curves.\text{required area} = \text{area of circle} - \text{area between curves}.required area=area of circle−area between curves.


  1. Area of the circle

Given x2+y2=2,x^2+y^2=2,x2+y2=2, so radius is r=2.r=\sqrt{2}.r=2​. Therefore area of the circle is πr2=π(2)=2π.\pi r^2 = \pi(2)=2\pi.πr2=π(2)=2π.


  1. Area between parabola and line
=\left[\frac{y^2}{2}-\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_0^1 =\frac12-\frac13 =\frac16.$$ --- 6. **Required area** $$2\pi-\frac16 = \frac{12\pi-1}{6}.$$ So the required area is $$\boxed{\frac16(12\pi-1)}.$$ --- 7. **Match with options** This is **Option D**. --- 8. **Comparison with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **D** Our derived answer: **D** They agree.
